You will have to ask nVidia that question.  From what I gather on other 
support fora, these drivers are EOL and no longer supported.

If you want to ask RPMFusion, you have to ask there.  RPMFusion, dispite 
what they say, is not supported nor even entertained here.

One question, what does Xorg Server 1.8 provide that you REALLY have to 
have?

One last comment, please setup your Gmail account to sent plain text to

dump HTML mail for security reasons (and you should read what HTML mail 
can do, this is an exercise left to the student and our friend Google.)
